Jarryd Lyons (born 22 July 1992) is a professional Australian rules footballer with the Gold Coast Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Adelaide Football Club from 2011 to 2016. He was drafted with pick 61 in the 2010 national draft by Adelaide, having previously played for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup.[1]

AFL career

Lyons did not play in his first AFL season, but showed good signs with South Australian National Football League (SANFL) side, Glenelg.[2] He made his AFL debut in round 5 of the 2012 season, against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium in Showdown XXXII.[3] He played only three games in that season but continued to perform in the SANFL and could have played more if it hadn't been for an ill-timed foot injury.[2] Lyons played nine games in 2013, including a 21-disposal game against North Melbourne in round 9 and a four-goal effort against Collingwood in round 16. At the end of the season he ignored considerable interest from Melbourne, where his father Marty had played 27 AFL games, to stay with the Crows.[4]

Lyons played ten games in 2014, beginning to cement his place in the side in the latter half of the year.[2] Despite again attracting interest in the trading period, Lyons rebuffed all other offers to sign with the Crows for another two years.[5] In late 2014 Lyons was bitten on the leg while asleep and developed symptoms consistent with a white-tailed spider bite, leading to him being hospitalised.[6] He recovered to play 13 games for the 2015 season, nine of them as Adelaide's starting substitute.[2]

At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Lyons was traded to Gold Coast.[7]
